Question

i just can't seem to solve the first part. Any help would be greatly appriciated!!

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 3.2 Relative velocity. An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0km/hour is blowing southward. The speed of the plane relative to the air (called the "air speed") as measured by instruments aboard the plane is 310km/hour . In which direction should the pilot head? What is the speed of the air relative to a person standing on the ground, va/g ? What is the speed of the plane relative to the air, Vp/A? Enter your answers in kilometers per hour to three significant figures. Separate va/g from vp/A with a comma. Which diagram (figure) correctly illustrates the addition and orientation of the vectors Vp/Q, va/G and vP/A?

Explanation / Answer

vA/G = 75 km/hr , because ground is stationary

vP/A = 310 km/hr
